This is so meaningful, I really appreciate what you explained in this interview.
How we all want to accomplish everything but we also need to be realistic. We need to do our best and then leave the rest to Hashem.
How we need to help 5 people properly, rather than save all 60,000 in theory.
Really inspired me, thank you! Reply

The ship cruiselines should be bringing you in ships for housing. They have so many and in a time of distress they must be used for the purpose of helping. God sent these miracle ship inventions down to be produce not just for pleasure but for times of need. I pray you get housing on these ships. Noah's ark was used for survival and this is the intended usage of these shop. Pleasure cruises are not the primal usage of a ship. Reply

To Chana Weisberg and from Eilat, Chani Klein, thank you. I live in a nursing home next to Kiryat Malachi. I have been the driving voice of calmness, optimism, faith, positive actions such as lighting 10 extra Shabbos candles for our soldiers and helping those women who are capable to lighting Shabbos candles, giving a tiny devar Torah and Chassisus in my department and all the staff of the nursing home. Almost all of the staff were very young children during the Yom Kippur War. Having lived in Beersheva at the time, I now regale the staff with some of the encouraging stories and civil defense directives from that war. As such B"H, the staff came to realize how important it is to severely limit the television news broadcasts and instead play upbeat music. Nevertheless, I have been feeling that my efforts are insignificant. Your comments brought a totally new light to how I see my efforts. Yes, I do what I can do in my own way and place. So thank you so very much for that. Reply

Beautiful. It's so important for every to know how every little bit counts and has value.
I'd like also to share Rabbi Eliyahu's answer to the mother of a newborn who asked how she can contribute to the war effort when she's so busy with her own home and children especially now. He answered that her contribution in caring for her family in a day to day manner is central; she's actually helping provide the entire reason to fight Reply
